LESSON 9: COLOUR GRADING

The previous lessons we were using Sony Vegas Pro for the editing but what if you want to add more to your scene for example:


Colour Grading
Special Effects

Colour grading is basically a mood that you want to give your film (See below images)

These images are from a short film project that I did. As you can see that the colour of the video gives the audience a cold, horror movie feel.
To create this sorta look, You can do it within the edit program.  The plug in I used for this is called "Magic Bullet Look". You can download the free trial here.  You can download the plug in for almost any video editing software. There is also a stand alone option that doesn't require a editing program. If you are using your iPhone or iPad to shoot video they even have a app. so you can add this look on your iOS device

You can of course do colour correcting in Sony Vegas Pro, But it will take a bit more work to get this look. I highly recommend this product. even with not such a great camera you can make your films look professional.

Next we lesson will be special effects
